Customer Reviews

Good read

I bought this book after reading the classic Green Days by the River. The beginning of the story starts off slow but halfway through the book it picks up the pace. As with all Michael Anthony books, the descriptions make you feel as if you are living the story. A captivating story.

Great Book

I have been looking for this book for a very long time, and I so happy that I have finally found it. I Last read this book in my Form 3 year back in 1985. This is a great book for the young and old at heart, and it's a memory of the old Trinidad which I love to remember.

Brilliant, the author makes this experience come alive!

From start to finish this book is a definite gem, I first read this book in 1978, and loved it then, I have since read this book and given it to friends we all need to have experiences like this. This is truly the best of Mr. Anthony's work.A definite read for persons wanting to get into the caribbean childhood experience.
